The genusConotheleThorell, 1878 belonging to the subfamily Ummidiinae of Halonoproctidae,can be distinguished from other genera of the family (except forUmmidia) by the presence of clavate trichobothria on the dorsal side of tarsi, and a saddle depression present on tibia Ⅲ. Morphologically,ConotheleandUmmidiaare undistinguishable, but theConothelecan be distinguished fromUmmidiaby the burrow behavior and the distribution: spiders ofConotheleoften construct a short and superficial burrow, parallel to the surface of ground or the tree trunk, the burrow ofUmmidiahaving a long and deep tunnel; spiders ofConotheledistributed in the Orient and Australasian regions,Ummidiadistributed in the America and Mediterranean regions. Presently, this genus including 30 species, 11 of which were found in China (WSC, 2021).
During the study of collections of MHBU, we found twoConothelespecies of Tibet. One of them isConothelelinzhiH. Liu, Xu, Zhang, F. Liu &Li, 2019, it is the firstConothelespecies described from Tibet, but known only from the female;here, this study reports the male ofC.linzhifor the first time.Another one is confirmed to be a new species:Conothelemedogasp. nov.. All measurements are in millimeters.
ConothelelinzhiH.Liu,Xu,Zhang,F.Liu&Li,2019(Fig.1a-g;Fig.2a-h)
Materialexamined2♂3♀,Baishuwang Garden, Bayi Town, Nyingchi City, Tibet, China, July 2002, leg. M. Zhu, Feng Zhang and Junxia Zhang (MHBU).
DiagnosisFemales ofC.linzhican be distinguished from other congeneric members by the large irregularly syncretic sigilla presents on the central sternum (Fig.2b), the distal part of stalks slightly Z-shaped and the terminal lobes of spermathecae hemisphere-shaped (Fig.2d); by the presence of long clavate setae on the ventral side of legs Ⅰ-Ⅲ (Fig.2f-h). Males morphologically resembleC.cangshan,C.deqinandC.taiwanensis, but can be distinguished fromC.cangshanandC.taiwanensisby a relatively slender palpal tibia without a proximal hump on the prolateral side; can be distinguished fromC.deqinby the fish-hook tooth at the tip of embolus not well-developed (Fig.1e-g).

Conothelemedogasp.nov.(Fig.3a-g)
MaterialexaminedHolotype♀. Dexing Town, 95.218 8 °E, 29.359 1 °N,1 900 m elev., Medog County, Nyingchi City, Tibet, China, 15 June 2020, leg. L. Yuan (MHBU).
EtymologyThe specific name is a noun refers to the type locality; noun (name) in apposition.
DiagnosisThe female of new species can be distinguished from otherConothelespecies by the terminal part of stalk thickening and coiled, the terminal lobes of spermathecae hemisphere-shaped (Fig.3e); by the corners of lateral edges of carapace slightly lower than the horizontal line of fovea (Fig.3a); can be distinguished fromC.linzhiby the absence of long clavate setae on the ventral side of legs Ⅰ-Ⅲ.
DistributionKnown only from the type locality.
錐螲蟷屬Conothele隸屬于盤腹蛛科Halonoproctidae潮螲蟷亞科Ummidiinae[1],其與同科其他屬(除潮螲蟷屬Ummidia)區(qū)別在于所有跗節(jié)背側(cè)具有棒狀聽毛、第Ⅲ步足脛節(jié)背面具1馬鞍形凹陷.該屬與潮螲蟷屬在形態(tài)上尚無法區(qū)分,但近年的分子系統(tǒng)學(xué)研究支持該2屬各自的單系性[1].該屬可與潮螲蟷屬區(qū)別于巢穴形態(tài)與分布區(qū)域:錐螲蟷屬的巢穴通常極淺,僅能容身,潮螲蟷屬的巢穴有長而深的洞道;錐螲蟷屬分布于東洋區(qū)至澳洲區(qū),潮螲蟷屬分布于美洲與地中海地區(qū).錐螲蟷屬蜘蛛營穴居生活,在土表或樹干上做短而淺、僅能容身的巢穴,并在巢穴入口覆以可開合的絲蓋.目前,該屬已知30種,均分布于東洋區(qū)至澳洲區(qū),其中,中國已報道11種[4].
經(jīng)鑒定河北大學(xué)博物館館藏標(biāo)本,發(fā)現(xiàn)了2種產(chǎn)于中國西藏地區(qū)的錐螲蟷.其中,一種為林芝錐螲蟷ConothelelinzhiH. Liu, Xu, Zhang, F. Liu & Li, 2019,但目前僅記錄雌性[2],本文首次報道了林芝錐螲蟷的雄性.另一種經(jīng)鑒定確定為1新種:墨脫錐螲蟷Conothelemedogasp. nov.,本文對其進(jìn)行正式命名與描述.文中所有測量單位為mm.
